Access to technology

The telecom industry is on the rebound and the demand for more and newer wireless services is ever increasing. To meet these market demands, wireless providers have to deploy advanced radio access networks to enhance the mobile communications infrastructure. This forward-looking book delivers a comprehensive overview of the evolution of mobile radio access networks, focusing on high-level architectural issues that engineers and managers need to understand.

In order to effectively access the rapidly increasing range of media content available in the home, new kinds of more natural interfaces are needed. In this paper, we explore the application of multimodal interface technologies to searching and browsing a database of movies. The resulting system allows users to access movies using speech, pen, remote control, and dynamic combinations of these modalities.

Spoken word collections promise access to unique and compelling content, and most of the technology needed to realize that promise is now in place. Decreasing storage costs, increasing network capacity, and the availability of software to encode and exchange digital audio make possible physical access to spoken word collections at a previously unimaginable scale. Effective support for intellectual access — the problem of finding what you are looking for — is much more challenging, however. ...

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that extends remote access to users over a shared
infrastructure. VPNs maintain the same security and management policies as a private network.
They are the most cost effective method of establishing a point-to-point connection between remote
users and an enterprise customer’s network.

With some six billion mobile subscriptions now in use worldwide, around three-quarters of the world’s inhabitants now have access to a mobile phone. Mobiles are arguably the most ubiquitous modern technology in some developing countries, more people have access to a mobile phone than to clean water, a bank account or even electricity. Mobile communications now offer major opportunities to advance human development from providing basic access to education or health information to making cash payments and stimulating citizen involvement in democratic processes.

The three chapters of this report cover an assessment on the impacts of China ’s

Quote from Ross Anderson (text “Security Engineering”)
Its function is to control which principals (persons, processes, machines, …) have access to which resources in the system -- which files they can read, which programs they can execute, and how they share data with other principals, and so on....

The Mzansi Account is the result of a banking industry initiative to provide a standard bank account,
which is affordable, readily available and suits the specific needs of the previously unbanked com-
munities. This initiative is a requirement of the Financial Sector Charter, which requires banks to
make banking more accessible to the nation and, specifically, to increase banking reach to all com-
munities.

Introduction By the turn of the century, information, including access to the Internet, will be the basis for personal, economic, and political advancement. The popular name for the Internet is the information superhighway. Whether you want to find the latest financial news, browse through library catalogs, exchange information with colleagues, or join in a lively political debate, the Internet is the tool that will take you beyond telephones, faxes, and isolated computers to a burgeoning networked information frontier.

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are increasingly seen as integral to the development process. This working paper reviews:(a) some of the evidence for the link between telecommunications and the internet and economic growth;(b) the likely impact of the new ICTs on income inequality; and(c) anecdotal evidence regarding the role of the Internet in improving government services and governance.This study looks at methods to maximize access to the new ICTs, and to improve their development impact in both the generation of income and the provision of quality services....

Many people in developing countries lack access to health technologies, even basic ones. Why do these problems in access persist? What can be done to improve access to good health technologies, especially for poor people in poor countries? This book answers those questions by developing a comprehensive analytical framework for access and examining six case studies. Access to health technologies in poor countries is shaped by social, economic, political, and cultural processes.

This book is dedicated to education. We need more education, deeper education, more effective education, more access to education, and more affordable education. While education works well for millions of learners, it doesn’t work for everyone. There are millions more whose lives could be transformed by education. For education to do better we cannot just keep doing the same things.

Over the period 2001-2005, Post Offices in Senegal and Tunisia experienced a continued growth of
